Delta Marlborough Pinot Noir Rosé 2023

Description

Dry, Spice, Strawberry

Pale rose gold colour in the glass. Refined bouquet of ripe strawberries and cream. This Rosé is crisp and full with vibrant flavours of red berries, fleshy stonefruit and a warm cinnamon spice.

The Pinot Noir grapes used to make this elegant Rosé were selected from select vineyards around the Marlborough region. The 2023 vintage started with warm spring weather resulting in early flowering within our Delta vineyards. The growing season had higher levels of rain that cleared up early April, at this time the wind picked up, drying the fruit and leaving behind disease free grapes with delicate aromas.Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, the fruit was continually monitored until a balance of flavour, acidity and physiological ripeness was reached.

The fruit for this wine was machine harvested during a cool evening when the grapes reached peak flavour maturity. At the winery, each parcel of fruit was carefully pressed to extract delicate blush hues and fermented in cool stainless steel tanks to retain the fresh fruit characterisitcs. After fermentation, Heather carefully selected her favourite batches prior to intricate blending. The wine was then lightly fined and prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: An ideal match with light salads, or for sipping in the sunshine with friends and family.
